Dodge Durango Srt
NHTSA safety across every Dodge Durango Srt model year we cover.
Across the 8 model years of the Dodge Durango Srt we cover (2019 to 2026), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. 6 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Dodge Durango SRT is a high-performance three-row SUV aimed at enthusiasts who want serious straight-line power without giving up family hauling capability. Sitting at the top of the Durango lineup, it occupies a narrow but devoted niche in the full-size SUV segment, appealing to buyers who prioritize performance character alongside everyday utility.
From a pure safety-data standpoint, the Dodge Durango SRT presents a meaningful gap in the record: NHTSA has not crash-tested any model year we cover, from 2019 through 2025. That means shoppers have no federal star ratings to lean on when sizing up this truck against rivals. That absence alone is worth pausing over, particularly in a segment where competitors carry documented crash-test results. The recall count across those six model years stands at six, which is a moderate figure for a vehicle in production this long, but the nature and scope of any given recall matters as much as the raw number, and shoppers should check NHTSA's recall database by VIN before purchase. Owner complaints tell a more pointed story. The 385 total complaints filed with NHTSA across the covered years include allegations of 17 crashes, 6 fire-related incidents, and 13 injuries. These are unverified allegations, not confirmed findings, but the fire-related complaints in particular deserve attention and should prompt prospective buyers to investigate whether any open recalls address those concerns. Bottom line: the Durango SRT delivers an undeniably bold performance package, but its safety picture is incomplete. The lack of crash-test data combined with a meaningful complaint volume means buyers are accepting more uncertainty here than they would with a tested alternative. Check your VIN, review open recalls, and go in with eyes open.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the Durango SRT for its muscular powertrain and the rare combination of genuine performance and three-row seating. Most find the cabin materials and overall refinement acceptable for the segment, though not class-leading. Driving dynamics are consistently described as engaging for a large SUV, and the value proposition of its performance-per-dollar ratio earns frequent mention as a key selling point.
